reminders and schedule update
This is just to remind everyone that the first rehearsal is Tuesday Dec. 1st from 7:00-9:00. We will have rehearsal on Tuesdays and Thursday through Dec 17 from 7:00-9:00. If you are unable to attend a rehearsal, you need to let me know asap.
There has been a change for our mini camp that occurs over Christmas break. On the handout from the meeting, the minicamp was going to be Jan 1and Jan 2, all day both days. However, due to not being able to get the gym, at those times, we will be having a split mini camp. The mini camp is: January 1st from 12:00-9:00 and January 3rd from 8:00-4:00. Please put these dates in your calander now. These are VERY important rehearsals because this is when we learn the majority of drill and the pit learns most of the music. It is much like band camp in those regards. If you have a conflict you need to let me know asap so we can figure out how to handle it.
Our contest schedule is:
January 30th- Miamisburg
January 31st- Miamisburg
February 7th- Bellbrook
March 14th- Centerville
March 27th-Championships
March 28th Championships- we will perform both days at Championships.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns

Tuesday Sectionals
Hello All,
Just a reminder that starting this Tuesday,(August 18th) the percussion section will have sectional after full band rehearsal. The sectional with go from 5:00-6:30. This is for battery and pit both. These sectionals are mandatory. If you are going to miss one I need a note as always.
As the season goes on, we may end these early and cancel one now and then. However, you should always plan on having the sectional.
Also, now that school is about to start your schedules are going to become very busy. Make sure that you keep up with your homework. You still have to find time to practice at home as well. Also, while I understand that sometimes you have a lot of homework certain days, homework is NOT an excused reason to miss ANY rehearsal or sectional. Please keep that in mind and learn to budget your time.
A reminder for the battery, you must have the entire show memorized by Wednesday for the County Fair.
